While the long-distance movements of pelagic vertebrates are becoming known thanks to
satellite telemetry, the factors determining their courses have hardly been investigated. We …

Leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea spend most of their life in oceanic environments,
whose physical and biological characteristics are primarily forged by sea current circulation …

During their offshore movements, leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, associate
frequently with ocean currents and mesoscale oceanographic features such as eddies, and …

The open-sea movements of marine animals are affected by the drifting action of currents
that, if not compensated for, can produce non-negligible deviations from the correct route …

The routes of five satellite-tracked loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta), subjected to an
experimental translocation away from their usual migratory routes, have been analysed in …

Sea turtle movements often occur in open‐sea unsheltered areas, and are therefore likely to
be influenced by major oceanographic processes. Only recently has work started to examine …

Previous tagging studies of the movements of green turtles (Chelonia mydas) nesting at
Ascension Island have shown that they shuttle between this remote target in the Atlantic …

Previous studies have shown that loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta), monitored by
satellite telemetry, complete long-distance migration between the western and eastern …

In the South Atlantic Ocean, few data exist regarding the dispersal of young oceanic sea
turtles. We characterized the movements of laboratory-reared yearling loggerhead turtles …

As open sea navigators, green turtles Chelonia mydas have to deal with oceanic currents.
These currents may have a mechanical influence, forcing turtles away from their desired …
